Summer is here! Nothing says summer like a great list of recommended summer reading, along with some time at the pool, snow cones, camps, and tons of outside play! Here are some recommended reading list for every grade level. Pick a few books for yourself and keep track of your reading by either using the Summer Reading Log or the Summer Reading Bingo. Everyone who brings one of these back in the fall will get a surprise!

Great news for our 1st and 2nd graders! Thanks to our district, all 1st and 2nd graders will receive a new book for their summer reading. Since these books arrived after our student pick-up days, we have them available for you to come pick up!

Starting Thursday, May 28th at noon, there will be two boxes sitting out on the front porch of the school, one for 1st grade and one for 2nd grade. Look for your teacher and then your name to find a bag with your book along with the SBISD Summer Reading Guide.
Books will available for pick-up from the front porch of BHE June 8-12 from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm.

Thank you for your patience as we continue to roll out plans that look different then a typical school year. We are so grateful for the committees working hard on the challenges they have faced this spring.

*YEARBOOKS – Being nonessential, the yearbook publisher was shut down this spring. The yearbook committee will receive the orders in late July. They will be working and communicate a plan for distribution by the time they arrive. Please stay tuned on how to pick up your yearbooks later this summer.

*SPIRIT- Most years spirit pre-sales are up and running in May. With all the uncertainties we have faced these past few months, spirit has been working hard to create a new plan for the 2020-2021 school year. We are extremely excited about the changes, and we hope you will be too once they are officially announced. Please stay tuned this summer with special blasts pertaining on ordering spirit wear.

*2020-2021 SCHOOL YEAR – Please refer back to our website later this summer for updates and PTA calendar news.

I hope you and your family have a wonderful, safe and healthy summer. I look forward to serving our PTA as President for the 2020-2021 school year.

If you missed the student materials drop off/pick up this week, please call the front office from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm to schedule a pick up time. We are also collecting any classroom or library books on the front porch of BHE. Be sure to bring them in a plastic bag marked clearly with your last name. Please call (713) 251-5400 for more details. Happy Summer!

The link to order school supplies is up and running. We have worked with the teachers in each grade to get the exact products they are requesting. Once supplies are ordered, they will be delivered to your students’ new classroom the first day of school this fall. In addition to the regular supplies, we are also offering hand sanitizer and sanitizing wipes to be delivered for each child as well.
Please order by June 7, 2020 to ensure your items are delivered to the school and classroom on time. After that date you will be able to have items shipped to your home for an additional fee.

NEW TIMES! SBISD had over twenty bell schedules in existence which made bus transportation very difficult. There will now only be TWO elementary bell schedules district wide. We selected a start time of 7:50 (instead of 7:20).

Our first bell dismissing students from the gym and the cafeteria will be at 7:45. Our second bell marking your student tardy will be at 7:50. BHE TV begins at 7:50. Plan ahead!

Carpool will be open from 7:20 to 7:45. Gates will be locked (even on rainy days) promptly at 7:45. ALL late students (carpool, walkers, bikers, etc.) will have to be signed in by a parent at the front window after 7:50. This is a MAJOR CHANGE. Please plan ahead – you will need to be in the carpool line by 7:25 or your child will be late. Classroom instruction begins promptly at 7:50 am. Thank you for supporting us in getting EVERY CHILD to class ON TIME!!
